5 Best Bars to Enjoy the Sunset in Hong Kong

There’s no better way to end an evening than with a cocktail in hand as you watch the sunset. Thankfully, Hong Kong’s home to countless rooftops and alfresco terraces where you can enjoy quality drinks (away from or with the crowds depending on what type of evening you’re going for).

Here is a list of our favourite Hong Kong bars to enjoy the sunset and a view of the city:

Veuve Clicquot Sunset Lounge at the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong

Hidden away on the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong’s other rooftop on the 118th floor is an exclusive Veuve Clicquot Sunset Lounge with private cabanas faced towards the sunset and 180 degree views of Hong Kong.

The private cabana package is priced at HK$1,650 and includes a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Rich with two accompanying ingredients (such as cucumber, tea and grapefruit) so you can customise your bubbly exactly to your taste. Add an extra HK$488 to enjoy a selection of five tapas dishes. Highlights include toasted Spanish bread with tomato, smoked anchovy, chorizo and Iberico ham, a variety of sushi, marinated Peruvian-style snapper and more.

CÉ LA VI is home to one of the city’s newest rooftops in the recently-opened California Tower. To celebrate the launch of their concept in Hong Kong, they are offering two happy hours: ‘Champagne Sundowners’ (2-for-1 on Louis Roederer champagne) and ‘Sunset Sessions’ (where you can enjoy gin cocktails from HK$48 and a bucket of six beers for HK$238) on weekdays from 3:30pm to 7pm up on their breezy rooftop bar.

A favourite for those in the know, Tsim Sha Tsui’s fine dining French restaurant ÉPURE is also home to a wonderfully picturesque outdoor terrace. Overlooking stellar views of Victoria Harbour, ÉPURE’s terrace is the perfect place to watch the sunset while enjoying a selection of small bites and cocktails from their new “a Toute Heure” and aperitif menu.

Pair dishes such as Blonde d’Aquitaine beef tartare and toast chips (HK$108), petit lobster rolls with black truffle (HK$128) or even a platter of ÉPURE’s signature French cheese with their vermouth and bitters (HK$75), a traditional Chambord (HK$98) – a blend of raspberry liqueur, lavender, lemon, egg white and Peychaud bitters – or even some of their hand-selected vintages and wines starting from HK$88 a glass from 3pm onwards.

Venture out to Seasons by Olivier’s romantic garden terrace for a chilled out evening of seasonal nibbles and drinks. Watch the sunset over happy hour (from 4pm to 9pm) with their delicious oysters selection (HK$68 a piece), some caviar and champagne (HK$260) or a simple homemade baguette with tzatziki and hummus (HK$55).
